San Ignacio has been closely linked to Deportivo Alavés at various times; it was the formative club of Spain international forward Ernesto Valverde.
==History== The San Ignacio Football Club is a modest but respected football club in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, and many place this club among the three or four most outstanding clubs in Álava – behind Deportivo Alavés, CD Laudio and Amurrio Club (although CD Vitoria and CD Aurrera de Vitoria are of similar stature).
The origin of the club traces back to a school in Adurtza, the San Ignacio Public School, from where the club was born in 1964, hence the nickname they receive from '''the Colegiales''' (Schoolboys). CF San Ignacio was promoted to the Tercera División RFEF (the then 4th tier of Spanish football) for the first time in 1997, after becoming champions of the Álava Preferential Regional (6th tier of Spanish football), but they only lasted a single season. In 2002, San Ignacio achieved promotion to the Tercera División RFEF again, but once again they weren't able to hold on for more than a season, being relegated at the end of the 2002-03 campaign.{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}}
In 2003, San Ignacio (who had previously been associated with Real Sociedad) agreed a four-year partnership with Deportivo Alavés to host their second reserve team in Tercera División.<ref name=sani>{{cite web|url=https://www.clubsanignacio.com/el-c-d-san-ignacio/historia-del-club/|title=Historia del Club|trans-title=Club History|language=Spanish|publisher=C.D.

==Stadium== Until the 2017–18 season, San Ignacio played on the Estadio Adurtzabal, with artificial grass.
